No Offence Please !
This is a response to the 100 Word Challenge which is hosted over at Velvet Verbosity . This week the word is – INHIBITED .
She calls it reserved . Her mother says , inhibited . I say snobbish . Call a stone a stone , not a pebble or brick . As a person from the "upper echelons" , she turns her nose up at the beggar on the street corner , the pavement vendor and garbage truck collector .
Walk a mile in another man's shoes before you judge him . Though I doubt she'd manage even a quarter of the distance with those stick legs in the high Jimmy Choos ; the contrived raven-haired coiffure , vacuous smile and the wide-eyed , porcelain doll makeover resembling Morticia The Maniac .
Hey , no offence – just being 'uninhibited' .
This made me chuckle. I've known a few women who were 'reserved.' Fun use of the prompt.
Welcome to the Challenge!
Thanks Tara … other words also come to mind … stuck-up , snooty , etc. but the meaning remains the same .
“Reserved” is very different from snobbish though … LOL !
Oh, I love this!!!
Thank you !
"Her mother says , inhibited."
Interesting… Nice family dynamics.

Thanks for popping in and leaving a comment …
Ah, yes….. we've all known or seen "these" types of women. Very nicely done.
My aunts were "Mayflower Society" women. I couldn't stand them, with their well-chosen, oh-so-clever bon mots about the misfortune of others, all the while underpaying the illegal kitchen staff and yelling at me if I practiced my Spanish with them.
Rich white people are generally useless, unless they made the money themselves, and honestly.
Let me say it again. I have no prejudice except against bigots!
Okay , so this is an example of what it means to “call a stone a stone” … no holds barred … 🙂 Your aunts must have been an endless source of entertainment though ! 🙂
I really like this, Mish! Her mother's take on it and the humorous description all add up to an excellent Drabble. As always!
p.s. Sorry about the late comment. I read it and then forgot I forgot to comment.
Kewwl ! It’s not a train smash … 🙂 Thanks for your ongoing support !
Inspired by my shoes? o.O
Welcome to the challenge, nice piece. 🙂
Well , the pic of your shoes led to me adding the “Jimmy Choo bit” … thanks !
